Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Flagship Housing Group via Oxbury and Company ahead of a new housing development at Field Dalling. Archaeological features were present in all five of the excavated trenches, though Trench 1 had the densest spread. The overwhelming majority of the features, which largely consisted of pits and ditches, were dated to the medieval period and the pottery revealed little beyond the 14th-century. The remains within Trench 1 appeared to represent the sort of 'backyard' activity typical at the rear of a medieval tenement and there seemed to be a recurring land division present in the ditches and quarry pits. A large ditch orientated east-west and observed in three of the north to south trenches, probably represented a medieval field boundary which may have marked a change from the tenements closer to Holt Road and agricultural land further south. |
